SYDNEY - Australian cricketer Shane Watson says he and fellow test player Brad Haddin were approached by an illegal Indian bookmaker on last year's Ashes tour of England.Watson on Tuesday said both players immediately reported their separate meetings to team management because the approaches were "more intense" than those from most ordinary fans.The bookmaker met Watson while the Australian team was staying at an exclusive hotel in London and praised the 29-year-old allrounder before inviting him out for drinks and "a bit of fun."

"I didn't think too much more of it until I found out a bit more information and that he was actually one of the illegal bookmakers," Watson said of the meeting in England. "It was just a little bit different to what normal fans are." Regarding Amir, Watson said
"I probably feel for him more than anyone because he's only a young, naive and innocent young guy," Watson said."I found him to be a brilliant competitor on the field. He always gave everything he got every single time that I competed against him and I found him to be an extremely skillful bowler for a 19-year-old."

Haddin said he was approached separately, with an Indian man coming to the wicketkeeper's hotel room while he was talking to his wife on the telephone."I got a knock on my door from someone asking if I wanted to come across to their room to have a drink, which I thought was a bit odd," Haddin explained.The unusual encounter raised Haddin's suspicions and he alerted team manager Steve Bernard and the ICC's security manager John Rhodes.Amid the latest claims of match-fixing, Pakistan's surprising loss from a commanding position in a test against Australia earlier this year has been called into question by some critics. Pakistan lost the three-match series 3-0.

It has also emerged that Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson were approached during the England tour. Bernard has referred two other bookie-instigated conversations to the ICC during his term as manager.

any comments from Indians who were bashing Pak cricketers yesterday? anyone at all? lol

if Gillani had least bit of khud dari, he would call back the team. Under these conditions we shouldn't be playing. Fairness and national pride are first. If we completely boycott then otehrs will come crawling on knees, they cant afford to loose a team as important as Pak

Sports is supposed to be fun and fair. F*** with Indian criminals if thats how they wanna play. Completely boycott all games that India is involved in. but does the PM have that khud dari? NOT from the sounds of it

Gambling is big business in India and many other countries. There is also lots of criminal elements involved In such process. Criminals are criminals. They are doing this to make money not to malign Pakistan. India as a nation is not involved in this scandal. Its is not our fault that your players are so easily corruptible.

So becasue the Aussies got approached by Indian bookies, that automatically means Pakistani players are innocent?
Did the Aussies get greedy and accept the bribes?
Did they continue hanging out with these guys after they offered them money?

Why were the Pakistani players continuously hanging out with people who were having a dubious reputation like Mazhar Majeed even after being warned by the board. Read the article from Jang posted on the forum.

How are you able to make a link between what happened in England to this?
Im not saying there are no bookies from india. There are definitely more there than anywhere else but the point is why didnt our players avoid a bookie like the aussies did?

Gazoo is a raw agent covertly working as Pakistani in this forum to mock pakistanese and collect intelligence about members. He hides this by posting extreme anti India comments. The same trick zaid hamid employs. I am exposing this because I am a disgruntled employee of raw. Gazoo being my junior got a pay rise and I didn't so I am taking revenge. Believe me guys zaid hamid is my hero and person who considers said hamid as hero cannot tell lie.

Pak players' role in spot fixing may be due to threat from bookmakers: Lawson 2010-08-31 13:10:00 Former Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson has tried to shed some light on the Pakistan players' alleged role in spot fixing, and said that they might have been threatened to do so by illegal bookmakers. Lawson, who coached Pakistan between 2007 and 2008, said that if the allegations were proved, it could well be related to extortion, threats, and the well-being of their own family members. "It would not surprise me if illegal bookmakers have told players that if they do not perform X and Y, their families will be kidnapped or harmed," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted him, as saying. Recollecting an incident when he was asked by a selector to field a particular player on the eve of a match, Lawson said: "...I went to his (the captain's) room and he was standing there with a very sombre-looking selector. "This selector said: 'We must pick (the player), I have been told that if he is not in the team tomorrow, my daughter will be kidnapped and I will not see her again.'" "At first we both (Lawson and the captain) laughed, but then we realised he was being serious. Our ( PCB) chairman then called the president, Pervez Musharraf, who in turn phoned the people behind the threats and said they had better reconsider or else. The next we heard the matter had been resolved," he told the paper. Lawson also suggested that the Pakistani players must not be judged by the Australian or British standards, which were different from those of Pakistan. (ANI) SEARCH

I agree with you for the most part, but when it comes to pakistan the bookies get two in one. They get to make money and malign Pakistan at the same time.

I agree with you that its the players fault, why do they get tempted so easily.

I think Pakistan should demand that betting should be forbidden whenever Pakistan is playing, but I am sure ICC will never do it because it is a money making business

you a big stupid person i ever met in life. if you are really a raw agent then raw will search you and kill you very soon. and if you are not raw agent you are then more stupid than my expectation that you are damaging raw reputation.

in both cases you are cutting your own foot, basterd. get away from here, you are at a wrong place
